| If you must store your items after moving out, you will have to pay your Lakewood mover Pickup and Delivery Charges These are Separate transportation charges applicable for transporting your shipment between the temporary storage warehouse and your residence. |
|
| Your Lakewood mover will have you sign an Order for Service. This is the document authorizing the mover to transport your household goods. |
|
| When taking inventory please make an estimate of value to tell your Lakewood mover. A Valuation is the degree of "worth" of the shipment. The valuation charge compensates the mover for assuming a greater degree of liability than that provided for in the base transportation charges. |
|
| The day before the Lakewood movers come, pack each plant in an appropriate sized moving box. However, first of all give them a good drink of water, put them in a black trash bag sealed tight, then in the box. Be sure and seal the box. Write "LIVE PLANT" on the outside with arrows pointing upright. If you have a good mover, they will load these last. The larger greenery needs to go in a dishpack, and you probably will not be able to close the box, but still follow the steps, and make some type of plastic cover over these. What happens is they create their own mini environment, and can survive up to a week in these boxes. |
|
| When you are packing, get out your clipboard and take inventory for your Lakewood mover. Inventory is the detailed descriptive list of your household goods showing the number and condition of each item. |
|
| If you have children, pack special items for the kids. Have the kids pack a box of their "special" items, things that they'll want to have nearby as soon as you all arrive at your new home. Point this box out to the Lakewood mover so it's one of the first boxes to be unloaded. |
|
| Ask your Lakewood mover if your things are going to be the only ones on the moving van. There are times that the moving companies put two or three families together that are going to the same destination. It might cost more to have the van all to yourself, but it’s worth it. You minimize the chances of getting other peoples things and loosing yours. |
